Generating leads is essential for any coach looking to grow their business.
Fortunately, Skool provides a unique platform to connect with potential clients and convert them into loyal members of your community. Here are 15 strategies to help you attract, engage, and convert leads effectively.
1. Create a Free Skool Group to Attract Leads
A free Skool community can serve as a powerful lead magnet. Invite potential clients into this group where they can experience your coaching style and connect with others in a supportive environment. This introduces them to your brand and the value you offer.
2. Offer a High-Value Lead Magnet
A lead magnet, like a guide, checklist, or resource, is an effective way to get contact information from interested prospects. Use Skool to house and share this lead magnet, allowing you to engage with leads directly in your community.
3. Host a Free Webinar or Workshop on Skool
Webinars and workshops let you showcase your expertise while engaging directly with potential clients. With Skool’s live video feature, you can host these events in your community, offering real-time insights and interaction.
4. Run a Challenge Within Your Skool Group
Challenges encourage participation and create excitement. Run a short challenge, like a 5-day goal-setting or wellness challenge, within Skool to show prospects the impact of your coaching in action.
5. Use Skool's Polling Features to Gather Insights
Polls allow you to learn about your audience's needs and interests. Ask questions about their challenges and goals to tailor your coaching content, helping you position yourself as the right solution.
6. Post Testimonials and Success Stories in Skool
Social proof is powerful for lead generation. Share testimonials, case studies, and success stories within your Skool group to show potential clients what they can achieve by working with you.
7. Offer a Free Mini-Course
A free mini-course offers prospective clients a taste of your coaching style and approach. Skool’s course feature lets you create a streamlined, professional mini-course that keeps them coming back for more.
8. Engage Leads with Regular Q&A Sessions
Q&A sessions let prospects see your knowledge and personality firsthand. Skool’s live session feature makes it easy to schedule and run these sessions, allowing leads to interact with you directly.
9. Share High-Value Content in Skool
Position yourself as an expert by regularly posting valuable tips, guides, and resources. Skool makes it easy to organize and share content, keeping potential clients engaged and eager for more.
10. Invite Leads to Exclusive Events on Skool
Host exclusive events, such as private workshops or coaching calls, just for members of your Skool community. This exclusivity adds perceived value and motivates people to join your group and explore what you offer.

Skool’s community-oriented platform makes collaboration simple. Partner with coaches in complementary niches to expand your audience and share each other’s groups, creating a win-win for everyone.

Invest in ads targeting people in your niche and direct them to join your Skool group. Once they’re in your community, you can nurture leads more effectively with regular content and engagement.
13. Offer an Incentive for Referrals
Encourage existing members to refer friends and colleagues to your Skool community. Offer incentives, such as access to exclusive content or a bonus session, to increase referrals.
